FORT MYERS, Fla, June 20.—1La Belle, a village 35 miles from here, vir- tually was marooned Wednesday night a3 a result of flood waters from Caloosa- hatchee River, which has risen several feet in the past week, due to heavy rains.

Officials said there had been no seri- ous damage. A number of the ground floors of homes and stores were led. A newspaper man from La Belle, who arrived here, reported that he was forced to use a motor boat to reach Demud and then proceeded to Fort ers. R-lln has been falling here steadily since Sunday morning, and the local ' weather man predicted another 24 houry of precipitation.

A STATEMENT TO THE AMERICAN BUSINESS WORLD M. S. HECHT President, The Hecht Company Washington - Baltimore - New York “Things without all remedy Should be without regard; what’s done is done” SO runs a lucid line fiom Macbeth. Like so many of Shake- speare’s immortal thoughts, its application is eternal. It could be set down with peculiar appropriateness in the United States-at this hour. It could be spoken with reference to the topic now uppermost in the mind of the American business world—the’ Hawley-Smoot tariff just become the law of the land. As President Hoover' declared, on the eve of affixing his He tells us that imperfections are as inescapable a feature of tariff laws as rate schedules themselves. They are the natural offspring of the American political system which incubates tariff laws. Our tariffs have always contained inequalities and inequities. They always will. Here, from the vantage-point of a merchant within the shadow of the Capitol dome, I am venturing to address to my business conferees throughout the Nation a thought or two which spring to mind at this moment. Whether we like it or not, the new tariff is now the law. Congress has passed it. The Presi- dent has signed it. The customs houses are enforcing it. The hour for railing at xl is gone. Confronting us is but one simple, compelling duty—to accept the situation, and to govern ourselves accordingly—with all posslble dispatch and with the least possible resentment. That is business. That is common sense. That is good citizenship. That way lies composure. That way lies hope. That way lies the promlse of lifting the wheels of trade and setting them roll- ing again, along the smooth, concrete highway of normal and natural progress. Under God, the American people still rule. Through their authorized representatives, functioning under the majority sys- tem, the people have enacted the tariff law. What the people create, the people can destroy. If the Hawley-Smoot law should be destroyed, it can and will be destroyed. Its creators will become its destroyers. But is it not the part of elementary mtelhgencc—of rational citizenship—of restrained judgment— to give the new tariff a chance to demonstrate its merits, or its demerits? The law provides machinery—known as the flexible provision—for remedying demonstrable demerits. The Presi- dent pledges his word to set that machinery in motion. Meanwhile, who can tell whether the Hawley-Smoot law is a blessing or a blight? What politician or statesman, no matter in which direction his party predilections incline, can, at this hour—when the statute is less than a week old—sermonize or dogmatize about it with certainty? The wise man-—the wise businessman, in particular—does not rush in with predictions, rosy or otherwise, where angels fear to tread. He waits-to see. He gives Time a fair chance. He does not attempt to “‘un- screw the inscrutable,” as has been said. Certain spectacular and deplorable events on Lower Manhat- tan Island this week have shown the damage that lack of con- fidence—ungrounded anxiety—can do to values basically as muqd as Gibraltar. Securities slumped, so we are told, because men are nervous about the new tariff’s effects—unreasohingly and unreasonably nervous. It would be an interesting compu- tation if one could reckon in dollars and cents what might have been saved if Faith instead of Fear had been enthroned in Wall Street this week. America’s prosperity is measured by the consuming power of her people. Alarm—mistrust—are not factors on which that power can grow. The purchasing power of the American people will shrink with every new element of uncertainty and anxiety introduced into a situation already heavily saturated with those depressing and distressing elements. The job of the American merchant is to sell goods. Goods cannot be sold to a public quaking at the knees over tariff night- mares or any other kinds of bogeys. We merchants will sell more goods if we can infuse more confidence into the minds and hearts of our customers. There is no more effective method, at this time, of establishing such confidence than by ceasing to cry over spilled tariff milk. It is the future that concerns us, and that alone. May I conclude with the observation that our own busi- ness is in splendid shape. Our books will certify to a rather substantial increase over 1929. We have no scintilla of con- dern that it is destined to diminish. ' On the contrary, we are firmly hopeful, now that tariff uncertainty has given way to ac- complished facts, that our volume, far from diminishing, is headed for expansion. Perhaps these conditions persist with us because we are paying attention to business and setting up no scarecrows for our own undoing. Idle laments butter no business parsnips. President, The Hecht Company.
